| Classical Music for Aficionados Finally getting around to listening to the Currentzis Mahler 6. After the overwhelming Tchaikovsky Pathetique it was a must-listen.So, not as transformative, but interesting nevertheless..Tempos are generally brisk in movements 1 and 2, with just... | |
| Joseph Audio dealers There certainly isn't a dealer in DC itself or the surrounding suburbs. If there were, I'd have been there by now. Nothing in Virginia I know of; you'll have to look in Delaware, Maryland, even Pennsylvania. Did you try calling them on the phone? | |
| New SR Orange fuse ... Best left to macerate for several days in the fridge before installation. | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary Similar to a number of the old ProAc models, with off-centered tweeters.If they're close-ish to side walls, "inside" would be recommendable.If plenty of space, "outside" will probably give a wider soundstage.Really, more room to experiment (or obs... | |
| I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology So something like the Piega C711 is a real outlier. Interesting technology, though. | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 How hot do you like your porridge?I heard the SHL5+ in a room with solid brick walls and driven by high-end Naim equipment, and they were brighter than I had expected. I commented to the salesperson and he replied (don't know if truthfully or jus... | |
| Thiel Owners If you try the Benchmark, you could consider a pair for either horizontal or vertical biamping. Just don't bridge them... (see the parallel thread on bridged stereo amps into lower impedances...) | |
| Speakers for Luxman NeoClassico II System One of the Audio Note models would work well and give you more flexibility with positioning than most. | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? Something is strangely wrong if the P3 sounds brighter than the LS50. | |
| SUT's -Looking for one with some meat on the bones @mckinneymike I agree 100% with your evaluation and can confirm from my own listening experience. I compared the D7s directly against Classic 100s, same room, same system, same (long) afternoon, same music. For me, the Classic 100s were signifi... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian? U.S. price? | |
| McIntosh MPC500 vs Inakustik 3500P Inakustik, obviously. Have you read the threads about it here? | |
| Niagra 7000 HUMM Everything you need to know is here.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/audioquest-niagara-7000-hum-buzz | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Already in stages of initial development: a sort of pallid greenish indigo. Will quite literally blow everything out of the water. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Elgar #3 (!), completed by Anthony Payne. Very fine recording--the way full orchestras need to be recorded. So far the symphony itself is not convincing me. Clearly Elgar's genius lay in shorter-form orchestral works, which are splendid. Cuein... |
